Question

t a school. number of boys/number if girls =9/7. there are 116 more boys than girls. work out the total number of students at the school​

Answer 1

928

Explanation:

Ratio of boys to girls is 9:7, so boys are 9/(9+7) = 9/16 of the total, and the girls are 7/16

the difference is 9/16-7/16 = 2/16 = 1/8, so

x * 1/8 = 116

x = 116*8 = 928
